It sounds like LSU woulda paid 100k CEO just to come be a tour guide. The staff is killing it right now! So many big names and so much positivity coming out of the program.

Hate to be a buzzkill, but until these guys sign on the dotted line and it's non-reversible, I can't get too excited about stuff like this.

Context? You talking about MBB or Women’s Soccer?

That's all great but it's also meaningless until the players sign on the line which is dotted.

This, love the hype but a lot of these guys are just money chasers and having fun

The other team trying to get the same player will just come with a back-up bag and we start all over again. Just ridiculous.

This.

Also for those that keep up with recruiting more than I do, how often do players say negative things during/after an official visit? Like how often do players say ”yeah it wasn’t that great” after they just got an all expenses paid trip in which they were treated like royalty?

BTW when was the last time you signed a line that was dotted?

100% agree with you but this is such a 180 from last year and maybe not this class but these reels and clips all over social media that do create buzz, clicks, and shares on social media do matter a ton with todays young people. These kids can name you more tik tok influencers, kick, twitch, youtube streamers than they can name you NFL players at their own position.

Recruiters can do a good job of getting their interest… but unless NIL is dropping bags, it’s irrelevant in today’s game.

It's "reversible" every year. I don't even follow recruiting anymore.

The media value O generated this week is work over 100k is all I’m saying.

Even if they sign on dotted line they can always jettison out through the transfer portal

I wish there was more regulation to it so there could be some degree of accountability and team building

I mean yes the dollars are certainly the most important thing now, but you can't say that tradition, coaches, campus, facilities, etc. don't matter.

Like if two schools are right around the same number, kids are going to take into consideration all the other factors, so those have to be top notch as well.

Yep. I like the positive vibes. It’s better than the alternative. But these guys are getting coached by their agents on how to play the recruiting game. They can flip back and forth until the last minute.

Sorry but as great a recruiter CEO is. It’s all about NIL. Same reason I didn’t care if Frank Wilson left.
